WHAT DOES TIGER LIKE?

A tiger is a powerful jumper and can easily leap ten feet off the ground.
Tigers can run 35 miles per hour! That’s really fast. Whether in the wild or in captivity, the tiger loves to sleep. Tigers always lives in forests because they offer places to hide. Tigers do not like big open spaces. Tigers like to hide, because they hunt by sneaking up on their prey. If they didn’t have grasses or tree to hide behind they will never get food! Tigers do not eat people but only in very unusual situations! Sometimes people roam where tigers live. A sick or injured tiger finds it easier to attack a person that to hunt for its usual prey.
People have found ways to protect themselves by wearing masks on the back of their heads. Tigers only attack from behind, so the mask fools them. It seems like the person is always facing them! Another method used to deter tigers is Scarecrows which gives electric shock so any tiger that touches the dummy gets a mild shock. It helps teach tigers to stop attacking people. Tigers don’t like becoming pets because they are wild.
Even captice cubs that have been raised by humans are not domesticated. Trainers in a circus use whips or chairs to scare the tigers into submission.

Want to learn more about tigers? Here it is……
White tigers are not a separate subspecies of tiger, they are not from could, snowy climates-they come from India. White tigers are a rare from bengal tiger. They are regular tigers with whiskers and tails they just happen to be colored white. White tigers actually range from pure white to white with chocolate brown or black stirpes.
Many white tigers have blue eyes, but some have amber or even greenish eyes. White is a very very unusual color for a wild tiger.
Of the thousands of tigers in the wild, only a few are white, there are many white tigers in captivity, thought and almost all of them are descended from a wild white bengal tiger named Mohan that was captured in India in the 1950’s. almost all of the captive white tigers in North America today are descended from Mohan and ae highle inbred. Some white tigers have also been mated with other tiger subspecies, creating what are called hybrid tigers.
